Casa Kirsch is just steps from St. Mark’s Square, nestled in the unique atmosphere of the Venetian lagoon. A short walk through a narrow calle leads you to Riva degli Schiavoni, where you can admire breathtaking sights like the Bridge of Sighs and the Island of San Giorgio.
Thanks to its proximity to the San Marco - San Zaccaria vaporetto stop, reaching Santa Lucia Train Station, the airport, and the lagoon islands is easy and convenient.
Described by Napoleon as "the most beautiful drawing room in Europe," St. Mark’s Square is the vibrant heart of Venice, always bustling with tourists, street performers, and its famous pigeons.
The square is home to the magnificent St. Mark’s Basilica, a Byzantine masterpiece adorned with golden mosaics and grand domes. A must-see experience is stepping inside to admire the golden details and artistic treasures within its walls.
A majestic symbol of Venetian power, the Doge’s Palace is one of the most extraordinary examples of Gothic architecture in Venice. Once the seat of the Serenissima’s government and residence of the Doge, it now houses a museum showcasing masterpieces by Tintoretto, Veronese, and Tiziano.
A must see is the sumptuous Golden Staircase, which once welcomed ambassadors and dignitaries, and the Piombi Prison, accessible via the fascinating Bridge of Sighs.
One of the most romantic and fascinating symbols of Venice, the Bridge of Sighs connects the Doge's Palace to the ancient Prisons of the Serenissima. Its name derives from the legend according to which prisoners, crossing it for the last time before their imprisonment, sighed at the sight of the lagoon, aware that they were about to leave freedom.
Today it is one of the city's most photographed attractions and a must-see for anyone visiting Venice. Admiring it from the gondolas or walking through it from the inside is a thrilling experience that transports you directly into the history of La Serenissima..
A promenade overlooking the lagoon Just a few steps away from Casa Kirsch, the Riva degli Schiavoni is one of Venice's most picturesque promenades. Overlooking the lagoon and enlivened by gondolas, boats and street performers, it offers an enchanting panorama from the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore to St Mark's Basin.
Perfect for a stroll at sunset, or in the early morning when Venice is still asleep, this historic waterfront owes its name to the Dalmatian merchants who disembarked here to trade with the Serenissima. Today it is the ideal place to breathe in the sea breeze and take breathtaking photographs.
For centuries, the Venice Arsenal was the nerve centre of the Serenissima's maritime power. A complex of shipyards and warehouses where, in its heyday, ships were built with impressive speed.
Today, the Arsenal is home to the Venice Biennale of Art and Architecture, one of the most prestigious art events in the world, hosting exhibitions of contemporary art and architecture, and other events such as the aquatic light and colour show during Carnival.
